Right.
I never knew that a mobile phone contract could make me so anxious.
I had a sim only contract with o2. Last year I went on holiday for about 4 months and I didn't cancel the contract because direct debit payments had been set and I was happy to pay even if I wasn't using the phone just to keep my contract going.
It seems that there was an issue with my account and I was they were unable to take the payment.
When I returned and tried to re-activate my account, they refused and said that my details were with a "third party" and since they had already disconnected my number, they didn't want the payment.
Fair enough! I was busy with other things and I simply switched to a new provider and never thought about it again.
Today I checked back into my o2 online account (because I wanted to see what my old number used to be) and I saw that I still have a payment outstanding.
I am not comfortable with this because it just looks really bad.
My DH has now terrified me by telling me the third party was likely a debt collection agency and this stuff is now on my credit report.
My question is, if it was a debt collection agency, why haven't they contacted me in all these months?? Why haven't o2 contacted me??
And is this really serious or am I worrying over nothing?
